Hi guys, my pc died on me on Monday and my coworker sold me his G5 Mac tower he didn't need anymore since he uses a macbook now. I know its not intel based model but I am fine with not running the latest OS. It currently has Leopard on it, Dual 1.8ghz and 3.5 gigs of ram. The computer runs solid and boots up faster than my cell phone, it has TONS of software loaded on it already which I am very happy about. However I have a couple of questions for you mac experts.
If I am viewing a page on safari with a lot of pictures or a video it will slightly slow down a little. Not very noticeable on most web pages, only those with very large amounts of data or videos. It currently has 3.5 gigs of ram, If I add another 2 gigs will it make a significant difference performance wise?
The motherboard has 8 dimm slots, what is the max amount of ram I can put on it?
Many thanks for any input. I am stoked to have joined the mac world. I am planning on getting familiarized and using this G5 for a while and eventually upgrade to something intel based.
